Surveyors say they've found Acadian settlement

It's a modern-day treasure hunt using ancient
documents and, to some, the prize is much more valuable than gold or
jewels.

Following an 18th-century English map and the journals of British
Commodore John Byron - the man who led the English conquest against the
Acadians - a Quebec archeologist thinks he might have found the village of
La Petite-Rochelle, the last settlement that Cmdre. Byron burned to the
ground.

"We're pretty confident that we've located the village that the Acadians
had fled to, to get away from the deportation," said Michel Goudreau,
vice-president of Quebec-based La Société Historique Machault, the
organization that sponsored the survey.
